    1. Now let all police officers resign, let’s see how easier and better you life will become

  1. The mere act of covering up one’s badge number should be held accountable with a firing of said officer….demand it!

    1. They wear that as solidarity and memory of fallen officers. They will give you their number and explain the same thing I just told you. We are mourning as a nation, these people are human too

  2. Think they got that in reverse. Instead of a few bad apples looks like there are only a few good apples

    1. Does that saying also apply to the protesters? Does having rioters and looters mixed in with the protesters make the whole group of protesters bad?

    2. The riots got the nation’s attention more than any protests in the past have. BLM has been doing protests for years. Maybe burning buildings down is the only way to make politicians act.

    3. @Sparky McSpark I think it makes more sense to think of the worse gang of criminals first: the police.

    4. @Sparky McSpark Boy they’re not going to like this one. I can’t wait to read the mental gymnastics they’ll have to do

    1. @Robert Clawson thank you for this Sunday’s example of “whataboutism”, a variant on a logical fallacy which purports to divert attention from the subject at hand with a “well….that might be bad but WHAT ABOUT THIS?!?!?!”. We’re not talking about President Obama at this time….we’re talking about Trump’s ineptitude and incompetence, and, quite frankly, his fascist, authoritarian, and quite racist remarks, actions, and responses. So….I suggest you STFU and sit down and really examine why you feel the need to deflect attention from the matter at hand. And….the only “unaccountable frauds” that we have are Trump, his family, and every person he has appointed to a position of power while in office. HE IS THE MOST GODDAMNED CORRUPT OFFICIAL WE HAVE EVER HAD IN THE USA. If you can’t see that, then you are blind, deaf, and stupid.

    2. @Tim Piscovich There never was a distraction. Obama was a joke, so was Mueller, Comey, Brennan, Lynch, McCabe, Rosenstein, Clinton and Biden .. it is still under investigation while you chase something shiney because you have so few brain cells you could count them on your fingers. Get it boy..

  3. PoliceUnion: “We’ve investigated ourselves and found no evidence of wrong doing.”

    1. @inner3peace they would NEVER do such. Those leaders were voted in back in 1776 lol. The ones with voting capabilities are prejudice. Most of those leaders do even like millennials, not matter what nationality. They think anyone younger than them are “young and dumb”. I totally agree with you though. Major changes are needed. Along with prayers. *No disrespect to you, if you aren’t religious* ❤️

    2. There are ways to fix the police corruption. More black people becoming cops for example. This would give their race a more definitive presence in law enforcement. I figured this would be what they wanted. I guess not. And if there are measures to prevent this, then there is measures need to be abolished.

    1. Allow the police to lie, hold additional evidence until necessary to press charges, then add perjury to the officers when you present new evidence. If you do this correctly, you can take away the officers gun rights for life.

    2. Jake they have been lying all along about Black people to divest us of all our property & money. Keeping races separate by denying us equal protection, life. Liberty & pursuit of happiness.

    3. so a cop can get away with pulling a car over asking to see the license and as they reach for it shoot you dead and all they have to say is, thought he was going for a gun,
      they get paid leave and acquitted as seen before.

  4. Here’s a tip for the “police” leave 10% to 15% of officers to watch the protesters and the rest of you go arrest the looters!

    1. @bang yolo you can’t be looting and protesting at the same time, man. You can loot, then protest; you can protest then loot, but you can’t do both at once. So arrest the people who are looting, while they’re looting, and leave the protesters.

    2. @itsallfree a Dude… the cops couldn’t handle them! Even some of the protesters were whoopin up on the looters!

  5. If I were president I would order that line of officers to reach their hands out and shake hands with the protesters. It would go allot further than trampling on them and traumatizing them.

    1. We do that in Republican run cities. These violent animals are in Democratic Socialist run cities. If you care it’s easy enough to find for yourself.

    1. I don’t know about all the police in Buffalo… but definitely the ones that resigned when the old man was pushed to the ground

  6. I guess what we thought was tear gas, was just protestors vaping. 🤷🏼‍♀️
    Just more gaslighting from Trump and his administration.

  7. If that had been my father, neighbor, friend,…….wait! Those are my people being brutalized! As for the “Blue Flu”, 💩💩💩💩 brown shirts!

  8. “If the police beat you up, you must have done something to deserve it.” That’s what white people have been telling us for so long. Well, you can choose to look away at what the police is doing right now, but the truth is out there.

    1. When the police repeatedly picked me out of crowds to be questioned about my right to be there the other race didn’t react. Finally they have reacted to the cold blooded murder of Floyd and the lies Tapper pointed out. It was always in plain sight.

    2. Many of us learned the hard way during the Nam protests. Not enough of us, I guess. Our elders seemed to think we must have done something to deserve it. I raised 3 biracial kids. I found out even harder.

    1. His name is Martin Gugino, a known marxist who has been arrested several times for provoking police. There are also photos showing the tube of fake blood running from his mask but you watch CNN so go figure.

    2. @The One No, they didn’t… maybe he should have gotten out of the way? It was an actual setup. Look the guy up. He is always trolling for opportunities like this. If the police tell you to move you move. Hell, if I tell you to move, you move… there are consequences for our actions with disregard for the “should be” world. We live in the “how it is world”… and today, you move when the police are clearing an area. You can go not like it from another street… when getting your head bashed is a choice, you don’t get to complain.

    3. @DIGITAL PIGEON listen to yourself you’re justifying a crime against an old man. whatever his political views, he doesn’t deserve to be treated like an animal.

  9. Cops lying on reports should send them to jail for life or death penalty, that’ll stop lying

  10. We should encourage every one of those ‘blue flu’ cops to resign and find another line of work.
